CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER
>>724350240Imagine playing this shit
>>724350334let people enjoy things?
>>724350334Yeah imagine playing a real video game and not gacha trash
>>724350240i want to play as the hamster or perhaps knuckle joe
>>724350240>>724350334Literally this btw owning a switch 2 is a humiliation ritual. However to answer your question it would be Bandana Dee
this wording is too vague, are there any more riders than the ones shown off in the direct or not?
>>724350240lmao this really is just star allies but with the plainly specific exclusion of 64Scarfy is an excellent mob pick at least
>>724350240Starfy, clears this If this game fails,we enter the bad timeline
>>724350334OK. Yay.
>>724351516anons retranslated it in the nuked thread yesterday and confirmed that sakurai said that there are more in the game that they arent showing
>>724351516If this isn't a mistranslation then yes, there will be more riders. Hopefully they aren't just story characters
>>724350240>only one waifuWoke game.
I hope ado will be in
>>724351907Waddle Doo is right there.
i hope road trip is more substantial than just doing smash run for every single character
any word on what resolution and fps it's going to run at?
>>7243521581080 60fpsdont expect output scaling at 1440p or 4k, similar to mkw and dkb
Ill play daroach just because the only kirby games I've played were air ride, Kirbys adventure on the NES, and squeak squad. I don't know a lot of the other characters like marx and taranza and susie.Besides that, A magician thief just sounds cool
>>724350240lololo and lalala are probably my main picks. kind of wish they included more chicks like adeline or the mage sisters though
>>724352309why have you never played Super Star or Triple Deluxe?
>>724351516I don't know why people keep going on about that sentence, when the UI on the character select screen and japanese website are more indicative that not every rider was shown.
>>724352823>UI on the character select screen and japanese websitewhere/in what way?
EL RATO
>>724350240>adeleine still not confirmedIf she's not in, I bet it's her skirt. too much upskirt potential
>>724350240Taranza because the webslinging mechanic looks fun.
Why is the thread moving so slowly?
>>724354261I feel like Taranza's going to be either the most broken or complete garbage tier. Having an ability that can consistently give you extra speed seems like it'll be busted.
>>724354595Game was pretty thoroughly discussed in the threads after the direct. Gotta remember, even with all the info it's still just preview stuff and that gets discussed pretty quick
>>724354982He'll probably have bad defense that causes him to get mogged on the final lap when everyone is bursting their specials. His web slinging might not be that good for city trial
Claim your machinefu
>>724350240What is the thing at bottom right?
>>724354261>>724354982>>724355261I still don't understand how his web slinging works. Is it just a passive that activates off cooldown when you Boost Charge? Does it just look for the nearest available wall or piece of terrain to attach to? And is it just a flat speed boost or is it affected by physics (Like would it make a Slick Star slide faster ahead when you let go)?
>>724356274You already did.
>>724356318The cuck from Triple Deluxe. That game was good, you should check it out.
>>724356274There are """"""""""people"""""""""" who will actually throw away their old Machine of choice just for the newfangled ones. Even after hearing they're actually alive and can feel.How do they live with themselves?
>>724352823>developer infamously known for not liking his secrets leaked, who finished working on a game where he personally revealed EVERY character that would be in the base roster and covered an exhaustive amount of side content just so shit would be exposed on his own terms>"HURRR WAT MAEKS U THINK HE SHOWEDED IT ALL????"I want there to be secret characters, but anyone who is in disbelief that people are skeptical about Sakurai's intentions are deluding themselves and/or have been in a coma during Smash Ultimate's whole fucking run.
>>724350240After replaying some of the original, I realized just how helpful it is to have an auto attack. I'll want to go for either Bandana Dee or Waddle Doo depending on how good Beam is.
>>724350240based green kirby as usual
>>724356274Transformers! More than meets the eyeee-!
>>724350240I'm gonna go with Rocky. He seems like a Sleeper Hit. I'll probably try him with Bulk Star and the new tanks stars.
>no AdeleineFUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>724350240>Ricky >but not coo or kyneblasphemy
>>724356843Obviously so that she can make room for the true rep Ado from Dreamland 3.
>>724356576I hope the Swerve Star got nerfed to the ground, its existence in the original game is so dumb
>>724356318He's a spider boy. Named Taranza. Kirby killed his girlfriend and he's pretty sad about it.
>>724350240The evil fucking Waddle Doo
>>724350240where's walrus bro?
>>724356576Damn you can play more than one machine. Especially useful skill for City Trial.
>>724356970>Marx gets to come back to play go-kart and whatever else>Queen Sectonia is super dead and her soul obliterated and is never coming back because Taranza's main characterization is being sad about her dying sad spider boy
my obscure autism character pick would have to be broom hatter (witch hat design not shitty star allies one)
>>724356435It looks like it activates the moment you press A and theres a wall or ceiling in your direction. Its probably balanced out by giving him a slower base speed that causes him to lag behind when there's no terrain on the track
How badly will metafaggotry affect this game?
Im glad he's an alternate costume for MK but im sad he's not a separate character
>>724357156I was so convinced that they were an unlockable character in the original game for some reasonI'm actually sad that they might not be in
>>724350240Did anyone else laugh at the hilariously unsubtle ways Sakurai was desperately trying to avoid any price-related controversy during the second direct?When he did his little controller spiel, he explicitly went out of his way to say "Don't worry about getting Switch 2 controllers for this game, all your Switch 1 controllers work just as well".He also said that there was going to be no DLC and "...everything we wanted to achieve is in the base game". Translated from PR speak: "We're not holding anything back to sell to you later".I am honestly shocked that Nintendo let him be as frank as this. You'd think that they'd want him to encourage people to buy the new Switch 2 peripherals or leave the door open for a season pass if the game sells well enough.It must be that when you're Sakurai, you're allowed to be a bit more brazen. Although to offset it he make a big effort to sell everyone on all the new expensive amiibo, kek.
>>724350240>デデデit's day day day and not dee dee dee?!
>>724351763Her time is coming.
>>724350334i am imagining playing this right now
>>724357280Its really understandable, but damn if a mirror based character doesn't have potential. They could also do Smirror but we woulda probably seen it by now.
>>724352309Man Squeak Squad was such a mid Kirby game but among Daroach and Ghost Kirby it did at least have some cool things
>>724357309One other thing I forgot to mention, a lot of his vocabulary and phrasing put a particular emphasis on the sheer volume of content and the implied good value. I believe this was also on purpose not just as a way to sell the game, but also to justify the high price to anyone sitting on the fence.
>>724350240hampter
>>724357309Regarding dlc, the suits in charge probably would prefer that sakurai goes straight back to work on the next smash bros title instead of spending another 12-18 months working on dlc for a kirby game that might not even end up selling that well (considering that mario kart just came out and also the pitiful year 1 install base for the switch 2)
>>724357280be glad that his alt actually looks like the character. The simple pallet swap of the Galacta Knight alt just doesn't look right.
>>724357309I probably would've bought this day one if they released a 'separate but equal' Switch 1 version, but I ain't buying a Switch 2 for one game.
Alright gang, you just mortgaged your house, and bought a switch 2. After slotting in Kirby Air Riders and installing the day 1 patch, you open the character select to find that the only selectable character is kirby, meaning you need to unlock the rest through Sakurai's funny checklist.What whacky objectives will you need to do to unlock your favorite scrimblo?
>>724356274The transfor star is pretty damn nice. I know it's a Kamen Rider reference but I think I'll customize it to look like the Zeta Gundam.
>>724357794Looks cursed
>>724354595Same reason why Bananza threads die before 100 replies. It's one thing to be a passive observer during a hype/leak cycle leading up to release, but the number of people who actually own a Switch 2 compared to a Switch is very low. I'm not saying that as a Nintendo hater, it's just the truth. It's sold ok given how overpriced it is however the system has only been out for a few months.
>>724350334I'll fire it up on my Pretendo 64
>>724352660idk I just havent gotten around to it yetPlaying star allies right now though. Adeleine and ribbon are cute
>>724359572>Adeleine and ribbon are cutebased
>>724359197i genuinely find it so sad because dk is such an amazing game. its the number one reason to own a s2 at the moment.from the fun moment to moment gameplay that builds on its ideas much better than 3d world and odyssey (the last two games from this team) to the wonderful characters and shocking amount of lore and storytelling through level design (for the standards of a tendie platformer), it should still be getting threads hitting the bump limit just like e33.but after the first week hardly anyone showed up to talk about it... even the dlc didnt make much of a splash.
>>724352309Daroach is awesome and I'll be maining him too. But you should really play more Kirby games anon, they're all at least decent or better so you really can't go wrong with any.
>>724351516>be me>think "this roster is perfectly fine, just needs rick">has rickThey can stop right here and I won't care
>>724360636
>>724359762It was a good game however I can't bring myself to return to complete it after what they did with the DLC. On principle, I absolutely hate that they're selling post-game content that's obviously chopped off from the base game. Yes, it's an expansive mode, but it would be like cutting the Mushroom Kingdom and all of the unique content from Odyssey and charging for it. The nostalgia world that's the reward for defeating K. Rool, that's supposed to encourage you to 100% and keep playing... IS PAID CONTENT?Nah, fuck right off with that.
>>724350334your terms are acceptable
>>724356610They didn't reveaal every air ride machine though and he didn't give a total number of riders after the last previee like he did for the air ride courses
>>724361686its worse than that because dk island has no fucking bananas or fossils to collect, unless youre playing emerald rush its totally empty apart from a bunch of bonus levels, clearly they were in a rushyoure paying for new cosmetics and a shitty babys first roguelike thats piss easy and boring as fuck
>>724361686>>724361864Ignot Isles IS Mushroom Kingdom. It's where most of the new post game bananas and boss rush are like Mushroom Kingdom has in Odyssey.
>>724350240>no sir kibble or bio spark>galacta knight is a skin for meta knight again just like in smash brosIt was always gonna be bandanna dee but rip those guys
>>724361621is it just me or does his fur seem weirdly low res
>>724361991Ooo, Sir Kibble would be a good one. Cutter is one of my favorite powers.
>>724357309I didn't put that together until reading this, but yeah. Sakurai has a much better understanding of his international audience than most people who work at/with Nintendo (I have a lot of evidence to back this up such as his frequent translation notes during the Smash directs and also how highly he speaks of western game developers, like Naughty Dog and Bethesda) so I wouldn't be surprised if he recorded both directs together and then after seeing the continued mockery of Nintendo's prices abroad, he spliced in the "no DLC" line afterwards while it was being edited.
>>724362054
>>724362054It's the image compression
where's ribbon and robobot armor?
>>724361991I don't think enemies that will be the abilities can get to be playable.
>>724351516I think Blade Knight might be playable. Many regular enemies are, and I think I saw one riding something.Or is it just a prop to get eaten and create a power up?
>>724362268That's how it worked in the OG Air Ride.
>>724357309nintendo dgaf bro theyre making bank from mario kartkirbys entire budget is probably less than a quarter of the profit they have made from mario kart alone nevermind what they are making from hardware sales
>>724360636>>724361621Will Kine and Coo also be playable? It seems especially odd they're not in considering their trio status
>>724357156I'd go for Bugzzy, although I don't think it is that obscure. Surprise there's no Bonkers yet
>>724357309Nintendo has literally said that Switch controllers will work with the Switch 2. Also no fucking shit Sakurai is gonna say the game has a lot of content, he wants it to sell. He doesn't give two shits about what literal who Youtube schizos like Nintendeen think.And as for the DLC comment, he probably said that because his past two games HAD DLC.
>>724362327Oh crap. Haven't played the original.I guess that some characters might have promoted tho, haven't they? What about Waddle Doo?
>>724357309Switch 1 controllers work on the Switch 2 by default, it's not like Sakurai had to get some special exception for Kirby.
Can a kirbyfag explain to me why Chef Kawasaki was the 5th amiibo?
>>724362825Because Chef Kawasiki owns bitch
>>724362738The only Air Ride enemies that are also playable are Waddle Dee, Cappy, and Scarfy.>>724362825Probably because he was the fifth revealed character, and people like Kawasaki
>>724362691>>724362760youre missing the point, everyone knows that switch controllers are compatible, the fact hes reminding everyone of this during the presentation shows that he is aware that basically nobody is coughing up the insane prices for the new accessories
>>724350240>mk world flopped>sonic racing floppedyeah, im sensing a 3 for 3 FLOP
>>724362825Chief Kawasaki is the Fifth most important Kirby Character
>>724356274Acrophobia be damned, I will show why it's called Kirby AIR Riders>>724362825I've heard he's popular in Japan and at one point became a meme on NicoNico
>>724362941Do you have anything to back this up besides your feelings?
>>724362825Just look at him.
>>724350240I'm picking kirby nobody else can
>>724350240>Nago, ChuChu, or Pitch always get skipped overFUCK
>>724350240I don't care about anyone else
Alright bros should I play super star or super star ultra?
>>724352331>being a waifufag for kirby of all seriesshiggy diggyI've got a sneaking suspicion the Mage trio is in, with different alts and specials to match like Kirby's colors
>>724350240>A game where can finally play as Bandana DeeWhen the OLED is announced I'm so buying myself a Switch 2
>>724350240Daroach, he gets his dark nebula form as an alt. I'll play Gooey a lot as well.
>>724362825Because everyone loves him
>>724363090Both and in that order.
>>724362941The Switch 2 Pro controller is the best selling accesory of the year so far.I swear some of you think everything Sakurai says is some kind of conspiracy.
>>724356274It's like the wing star but cooler.
>>724363130i'm pretty sure sakurai said kirby's the only character with multiple specials.
>>724363090Ultra has more content.SNES has couch co-op
>>724362825Sakurai probably likes him, he was a frequently recurring character in the anime.
>>724357280I'm surprised we haven't seen him or any other inclusion of Mirror ability. It was always a cool powerup in Kirby games
>>724363090Both are great - but Ultra for the definitive version with a lot of important extra content.
>PEGI rating: "fear" warning>but no blood because lmao CEROWe're getting some Smash Marx body horror shit with this guy, aren't we?
>>724356974Niggle Doo
>>724363303Has the same VA as pic related by the way in Japanese
>>724357794The Dark Meta knight alt is a bit fucked as well. Still easy to overlook compared to Galacta though. Maybe Galacta will be a boss.
>>724363614Oh I didn't realize there was context behind this drawing.
>>724362991i have no feelings on this. it literally doesnt make sense for sakurai to bring it up for any other reason. why would he make a fucking tech psa in the middle of a presentation about a specific game when he just so happens to be talking about local multiplayer? im not talking rocket science or "feelings" here>>724363235bro wtf are you talking about, i didnt say anything conspiratorial lmao, why else would he bring it up
>MarxIsn't he an eldritch space demon?
>>724351516>this wording is too vague>THERE'S MORE FAGGOTS BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW THEM ALL TO YOUIf you're ESL, sure. Unless Sakurai hired some incompetent idiot as his translator it's pretty fucking clear that there's gonna be more.
>>724363932>i didnt say anything conspiratorial lmao, why else would he bring it up>"the only possible reason he'd bring up being able to use old controllers is because the new ones are selling like shit"come on
>>724362825Reoccuring miniboss, was in the anime with a bunch of dedicated episodes, Assist trophy in smash. He is the Apu of Kirby
>>724363976hes like racing
>>724363982Maybe. In Japanese after saying there are more riders he says "'This is the last New Rider Introduction", but not necessarily the last riders in the game, so it is kind of vague. The fact that there's still some room on the character select screen for three more characters and space for five more on the website is also suspicious, but we won't know until someone gets an early copy and leaks everything in the game
>>724363976He's just a terrifying monster that happens to live on Popstar who pretends to be a little jester man. Pay him no mind.
>>724363976Marx is a jester who pranked Kirby one time but that was in the past. He's a bit of a maniac but he's not like 0/0^2 where he's the antithesis of Kirb.
>>724364036ok but thats not conspiratorial in the slightest lol, look up what "conspiracy" meansIt was poor wording on my part i admit, what i was trying to communicate is that sakurai knows the price situation has been the biggest sore spot outside of japan and he may assume that many people would NOT purchase any controllers which would explain why he spends thirty seconds talking about this extremely obvious thing that everyone watching the presentation would already know during the section specifically about the local multiplayer experienceif you have an alternative explanation please share it but i believe this to be true because nothing else makes senseas i said to the other guy why do you stop advertising your product to give a psa lmao makes no sense
>>724363473I still can't believe this is happening. All the dark matter callbacks and Sakurai of all people is the one the make a modern Zero Two boss battle
>>724364324>>724363473If we got two more that isn't the final boss, I'd want Drawcia and Sectonia. I'd say Star Dream but that'd be a bit redundant if we're going back to Nova...
>>724364302You're in a thread where people are somehow still getting stumped by this >>724351516So don't expect much understanding of the nuances of marketing.
>>724364157>>724364259>>724364274Kirby Super Star and Super Star Ultra were so kino. Those and Air Ride were the only Kirby games I owned.
>>724364259he's a monster psychologically, he got his monster powers from the wish from Nova which made him into an actual monster
>>724364520SHOOPADAWOOOOOOOOP
>>724350240Waddle Doo my beloved. So much cooler than Dees.
>>724364528They consistently call the bat thing his "true form", so I think he just summoned NOVA to take over Popstar and revealed his actual body when he didn't have to lie to Kirby anymore.
>>724364591The music and the cutscenes were so awesome.. I spent so much time playing it. I loved the big movesets of all the copy abilities
How's switch2 emulation? there's no way i'm paying $570 + tax + tip just to play this one game.
>>724364302Anon, I promise you that Sakurai is just trying to inform people that their large collections of controllers that they already have will still work for team battles, etc.It could also be a legality thing since he's using a NS2 controller during the presentation and he wants explicit deniability or something daft like that. The majority of people will never own eight Switch 2 pro controllers, most people will buy two at the absolute most.
>>724364753You can't put away at least 200 dollars a month? You can't sell anything on ebay?
>>724364668I think it's "true" in the way that it's his true self and not actually his true physical form
>>724364520You should consider playing Planet Robobot. It plays just like Super Star and is really good. >>724364753Non-existent. We probably won't have working Switch 2 emulation for a few years to be honest.
>>724364302Do you think for Brawl he supported the GC controller because the Wii/Wiimote were selling poorly?He's just being explicit about what controllers can be used since he likes supporting as many as he can.Reminder that Smash Wii U supported>Wii U Gamepad>Wii U Pro Controller>Sideways Wiimote>Wiimote + Nunchuck>Wii Classic Controller>Gamecube ControllerPlus maybe some other I'm forgetting. This is something he's clearly passionate about.
>>724364753>How's switch2 emulation?lol, lmao even
>>724364753>How's switch2 emulation?If it existed I can assure you this board wouldn't shut up about it in every single thread.So nothing yet.
>>724364668It's crazy that after he absorbed all of that power, he still couldn't beat kirby....
>>724364957>Plus maybe some other I'm forgetting.You could use a 3DS as a controller for Smash WiiU
>>724364902I have the ability to buy it right now in cash but I don't think Nintendo deserves my money.
>>724364753Switch 2 emulation is gonna be a ways off sadly. Even hacking the system is proving to be tough, to the point where the PKHex devs (the thing pokemon players use to hack in pokemon with perfect stats, set event flags, and whatnot) said their recent Legends ZA patch will be the last one for the foreseeable future. A big development needs to happen.
>>724364503My money's on Dark Mind because of the remix we've already heard, but I don't think there's going to be more outside of the three we've seen plus the rider and/or Zorah/Nova.
>>724365184>remixI'll have to find that. Dark Mind would be cool even if he's just Nightmare 2 with some Zero in him.
>nowhere to be seen in both directs or in any promotional materialI have hopes for my bro Bonkers being a secret rider.
Ribbon doko...
>>724364753Don't expect anything for a while. If Nintendo hadn't publically axed the two big NS emulators we'd probably have bootable (not playable) titles by Christmas and playable by 2027 at the latest. But as it is, it's going to take a while to understand the new hardware and the bizarre pseudo-Wine translation layer Nintendo is using for software backwards compatibility which still hooks into NS2 native executables for some fucking reason.My advice would be just to save for a couple of months, get Bananza and/or Air Riders at Christmas along with the MKW/ZA bundle, then go from there. No need to get accessories or any controllers. I haven't bought any controllers or an SD card yet, the new Joy-Cons are way better than the NS and are actually useable in the grip for TV mode.If you want to sell your system and games later when emulation is mature, altogether it will hold a great amount of value especially if you keep your hardware clean and take good care of it all (which you should be doing anyway if you have any respect for your own property).Also, when a jailbreak is discovered, buying an earlier model means you're more likely to have a jailbreak-able system, so that's another good "exit" option to have.
>>724365276I think he can be a Copy just like Sword.
>>724365250https://youtu.be/_ZHYjYHHiBM?t=1244It was also in the first Direct, but the second Direct has more of it.
>meanwhile, in the /v/ tower
>>724365907for me, it's delicious cake
>>724365907you can stand on top of the cake...
>>724365907Why wasn't he invited, bros?
>>724366014no niggers allowedexcept taranza he's one of the good ones
>>724366058taranza is a piece of shit simp
>>724365907I wonder if the TV actually displays races like Smash would let you bet on random matches. I'd assume so.
>no Poppy Bros Jr.I shant be purchasing this slop.
>>724366231he's there.
He's in
>>724350379>release the faggots
>>724366765He's a confirmed rider?
>>724366935You joke, but they've already got Banjo Ginga on board
>>724366991Wait, wtf?
>>724366967Anon is full of shit
>>724367049that basically deconfirms him
>>724350240Don't care about any of these fags, I'm only playing Kirby.
>>724356274This thing has been my loyal ride in so many games, that doesn't stop here. You just don't forget annihilating an airship together.
>>724356274Gonna be sticking with ol' reliable
>>724363235>The Switch 2 Pro controller is the best selling accesoryIt clearly says in your tweet that the Dual Sense controller was the best seller
The original game being entirely kirby's aside from Dedede and Metaknight as bonuses with their own unqiue vehicle (or lack of one) helped center the vehicles as the focusThe sequel being all about the extended roster undermines that
>>724365907>That one guy who doesn't actually race, he joins solely to step on the food and try to glide to the other side of the room
>>724368718That image has two sentences. I trust that's not too much reading for you.
>>724368607bulk star with a bunch of charges felt so good.
Has there ever been a reference to this game in any Kirby game or in any media up to this point?
>>724369179Likely not, Nintendo probably gotta ask Sega for that since they own what the games basis is.
i have been theoryfagging the final 4 charactersone is elfillin (feels obvious)another is adeline and ribbonthe edgy alive version of zorah on a wheelie bike is playable as wellthe last character is either simirror or bonkers i think. both of these don't have existing copy abilities in the game and i think it's easy enough to think of unique attributes for them.
>>724363473we fucking better dude this is probably gonna the only time 02 is gonna appear in this franchise again outside of a reference he better go all out with it>>724369179no not to my knowledge which yeah makes sense its not even a kirby game
I wonder how many bosses we’ll get. I’d assumed the 3 shown were likely it, since they’re probably one of the bugger lifts in development. But the translation in the video said “several”, and I’m sure they’re the type of content that a designer wants to include when making a singleplayer mode. Some sort of final boss with the Dark Rider or Zorah seems a given at least
>>724350240I'm going to main Taranza because he's super cute and handsome and I also think he'll be super busted with his webs. I might also play a little Scarfy
>>724369315>>724370494I looked it up and apparently they only ever referenced it in the "Kirby's History" timeline in Dream Collection, but that's it. Does this game have any original elements? The only thing I can think of is that Kirby is an asshole and the title theme is a unique composition.
>>724370348mirror is one of my favorite abilities in these games
>>724370348I don’t see Adeline and Ribbon being tied together in this game. Star allies probably did it because it didn’t have enough moveset basis for Ribbon solo. And I think Morpho, Mage Sisters and Hynees all have a decent shot
>>724370348Fatty Whale or Heavy Lobster, calling it.
>>724362825since Kawasaki is orange instead of yellow he is officially the DEI character plus Kirbys final smash being cook kirby and Kawasaki being an assist trophy put him in the back of the teams minds
>>724370348its always gonna be2 new1 old1 you wouldn't expect but it still kinda makes you mad to know they took a better choices spot
>>724363036fuck you i'm playing as brown kirby
>>724371910yeah i really want them to be separate characters mainly cause i want to really see ribbon popping off with the crystal gun as her special >>724372004wouldn't they be better as bosses?yet having mini lobster either playable or as a machine would be nice
>>724367627it's a little wierd, but i like the mecheye
>>724368792me when I hate joy and whimsy
>>724370348I wanna say elfilin is elfil-IN, but the “why the fuck would anything nice ever happen” in me says he’s an assist in road trip instead. Only reason he wouldn’t be shown is if he has to do with the story there and I don’t see how he would
>>724372746It’s a retarded schizo who has to post that same dumb shit in every thread, even though people explained in detail how fucking stupid he was the first time he unveiled this autism
>>724350240Green Kirby until the day I die.
>>724350240WHERE. IS. SHE?
>>724373041I miss the old Green Kirby with the dark green feetit matches with the Blue and Red Kirby much better
>>724373412Agreed.I also miss the old look of White Kirby over the grayscale one they keep using nowadays. Partially because it makes me feel cheated out of a Shadow Kirby alt, since he's also grayscale albeit a darker shade. If they kept White Kirby actually white, then they'd be different enough that they could've given us both...
>>724374063off topic, but im glad that free run is back. is that playable offline?
>>724357004Mr. Frosty? No sign of him yet but I'm hoping...
>>724374417*online
>>724364753The first two "emulators" were patreon scams that amounted to a switch 2 boot sequence mp4
>>724374417>>724374458I used to spend hours in that mode. It'd be fun to mess around with others online but I'm not counting on it.
>>724372947>>724372746Excuse me I have seen at least 3 other anons who share my autistic opinion
>>724373412>>724374063It matches the other colors better but I also think it looks worse
>>724375026Fuck off already
>>724363139What do you mean? Bandana Dee's had playable appearances before.
>>724375159Not happening, I've been on this shithole of a site for 15 years and I'll be here another 15 from now
MOTHER FUCKING RICK
>>724368792>>724375026when you're playing the game a lot, its good to have optionsplus, it's not for no reason. all the characters have different abilities
>>724373412With how autistic is Sakurai about keeping the og design of enemies I’m surprised he let go of the green.
>>724376397They still use him in modern games, but the original trio all have their smash alts so that's probably the reason
Rick of course, you dense fuck. GOTY
>>724362054You are, what we in the business call, retarded
>>724350240I'm not a poorfag, but I'm also not buying Air Riders, should I buy all of the Amiibo?
>>724356974>din doo
>>724350334brown hands typed this
>>724377665Specifically his >>724366014
>>724377976brown kirby would never say that
>>724350334Until November all we can do is imagine
>>724378473just because he has the pass doesnt mean he always has to say it
>>724350240I hope the playtest changes my mind because I just don’t get it. Looks and sounds pretty but the gameplay looks too chaotic and messy, and a lot of abilities look really samey or simplistic. Forgive me if I sound like a greedy rosterfag but I see features like that lobby system and wish this was a new Smash instead. I hope I can see what everyone else sees in like a week
>>724364503I feel like people sleep on Drawcia>First OC Kumazaki boss>First soul boss>Intentional Zero callback in her transformation>Set the path for all future Soul bosses with most of them referencing her moves>Probably the point where Kumazaki already started cooking up the whole Kirby = Void thing
So what do we expect the Kirby Air Riders version of this to be?
>>724383284>but the gameplay looks too chaotic and messythat's why they put accessibility features anon. the chaos is an appeal but they have modes for people who don't like that.
>>724383476Lololo players are exclusively 50+ year old eggerlandfag boomers
>>724383348Didn't Drawcia reference some of Marx' moves already? I swear the cutter teleport attack was in base KSS.
>>724383476You already know what the Susie player description is.
>>724384375Fatfag right?
>>724383476Dedede is a spiritual successor to Wario (The less delusional take)Bandana Dee is LuigiMeta Knight's a mix of Bowser & ToadKirby unites Mario & Peach playersDK players feel like they'd use Rocky or KawasakiStarman players are the Cow players of Air RidersSusie players are new age princess players (Attention whore/fake nice/probably a tranny or porn addict)
No cunny allowed.
>>724384538I can see Magolor being a successor to Toad.
>>724383476>Dedede>MK Knight>Susie>TaranzaAll degenerates
I'm really happy to see so many characters return again after Star Allies.
Sakurai said no thank you.
>>724350240where is rick?
>>724386626Above Daroach.
>>724383476shitty and forced like every version of this image made after the original
>>724350240kirby bros who will be the fourth playable kirby character in smash bros 6? please don't say bandana.
>>724350240You can play as the evil floating cat things?
>>724388020Could just be a basic waddle dee, its the mascot enemy of the series to the point of being in just about everything kirby is in. They could take the pirhana plant approach with the movesets and give the waddle dee hats or something for alt costumes
>>724350240Will this game have the same problem as Mario Kart where there's a rider + machine combo that eveeyone abuses online? If I recall correctly the Swerve Star and Shadow Star were top tier in the original Air Ride.
>>724384538>Bandana Dee is Luigiwrong, my contrarian Luigi/Koopa Troopa ass will stick to do default Waddle Dee now
>>724388615In Air and Top Ride, probably, but I assume neither will last too long online.City Trial is inherently more dynamic, especially with the increased player count making it probably difficult to get the best, most well rounded machines. Different stadium goals, vehicular combat amidst collecting items, and other misc. elements should prevent metafaggotry to some extent.It's always hard to gauge because the metafagging cattle can get really stupid. Morton in MK8 (Wii U) was universally picked despite sharing his stats with a few other people, for the sole reason that he was the shortest of his group, obscuring the view of the top a little less.
>>724388615>>724389226clearly the perfect solution is to add a stamina system, like Pokemon Trainer in Brawl, to both rider and machine.Kirby is tired and he will perform worseThe Warp Star is low on fuel and needs some maintenance
>>724366935i wish, i loved that piece of shit
>>724383476Why are Wariofags so insecure?
>>724389802anon do you not know that everyone hated that mechanic in brawl?
>>724368718>Dual Sense controllerWorst controller of the big three right now.
>>724390483do you know how much I hate metafags
>>724350240I'm picking my bro Knuckle Joe. Gonna have fun stomping on the Bandana Waddle Dee mains.
>>724384037The NES isn't that old. I'm only 40. I don't care too much about Kirby, but I am very tempted to buy the game for Lololo and Lalala.
>>724388615I think because of how chaotic the game is it will be hard to pin down some good combo right away and people will gravitate towards some consistent setup until one specific broken interaction is discovered that easily dominates.It depends on how well Sakurai predicts/balances those things though since i can also imagine some counterplay to be discovered to whatever broken combo comes up. Like imagine Marx becomes really strong and people start counterpicking El Rato just to harass him
>>724350379I enjoy blowing out knee caps with a shotgun. Where the fuck is my shotgun?
>>724350240Rick the Hamster very much deserves to be in the game. But surely Nago the Cat is in the game too, right?
>>724394104If I had it my way, all the animal buddies would be in. But realistically, they probably had to just choose one.
>>724350334
>>724351516Im more interested if there are going to be more machines
>>724388615This is a Mario Kart problem. Sonic Crossworlds you see tons of different vehicles/characters. Kirby Air Riders will probably be far more dynamic especially in City Trial. Riders will vary the most since they seems to be focused on just a few abilities so it will come down more to preferences/who you like.
>>724375950I’m sure you’ll realize how pathetic your life is as you age and kill yourself soon enough
>>724394356Rick inside Kine's mouth with Coo sitting on top would be the ultimate combo
>>724388615People don’t use the same rider all that much in World. The kart, yeah.
>>724395732There's that one machine with the mystery gummi which was visible for a single frame when sakurai was showing off the menu options and the Free Run garage had two open parking spaces, including one next to the legendary machines.
>>724394104I feel like Pitch, Chuchu and Nago will go unreferenced, which is a shame, cause I love those little guys. If one gets in, I’d be on Chuchu
>>724396394I remember seeing the one Kirby is one. I figured it was a legendary machine since he played it up a bit but I guess it's just a normal one. Weird he didn't want to show it off.
Sakurai mentions Lololo & Lalala have the same stats so I wonder what the benefit of swapping is. Perhaps doubling up on powers/items?
>>724388615i dont know and i dont care, anyone who sweats mario kart, air riders, or smash is dumbwe arent talking about an actual skilled game like kof 02um here, theyre party games
>>724398429This, there’s nothing more pathetic than people playing the meta combo in Mario Kart yet still having low mmr. Soulless husks of people
It was supposed to be his turn. Are we sure there aren't characters unrevealed?
>>724397501Could just be a cute aesthetic thing. Not every character has a gimmick beyond stats and specials
>>724357004Imagine his fat ass on the star
>>724399383We’re fairly sure of the opposite, but he’s not getting in
>>724396160If I haven't done so yet, it's not in the cards
>>724357004>>724399495I'd have really liked more minibosses instead of playable grunts>>724399536>We’re fairly sure of the oppositeIs this based on anything or just optimistic speculation
>>724399495
>>724350240Waddle Doo
I wish Nintendo understood live service better. Obviously I'm not saying the game doesn't have enough content, but imagine if we got a map and three racers per month for a year or so.
>>724386371My hero.... she's balding....
>>724399383kirby is in the game
>>724399849You really think a month is enough time to make an entire new map AND three new riders?I'd expect a new map OR a new rider every two months or so with a generously large skeleton team. And that's being generous.
>>724400065Yes I absolutely do. Regardless, the output speed wasn't really my point. Id have just liked to know more content would be steadily released
>>724400065Fortnite can do five times as much in two months, what's Nintendo's excuse?
The only thing that's disappointed me is the City Trial map. If they wanted to only have one map, that's fine, but imagine a version of Skyah that's modular, with each chunk having an assortment of options that it randomly selects from, so each time you play there could be dozens of map combinations available
>>724399708Read the thread, watch the direct, have a braincell
>>724350334Vrooooom
>>724400794I watched the direct but I'm not reading a 300 post thread for the answer. I guess I'll never know
I love kirby and I love /v/ Is this game out yet??
Here's a twist, what's the worst possible waste-of-a-slot Kirby character that could get added?
>>724399849artificially extending interest by holding off on content that would have otherwise been in the game at the start is completely pointless for a game like this. It’s a party game, it doesn’t need an active community for years, held together by the fomo of a new nibble every month or so. It doesn’t have additional spending, so the budget for live service content would have just been taken from what we’re instead getting up front>>724400436This isn’t the world’s most popular microtransaction IP slop platform>>724401047>didn’t pick up on it in the direct>too stupid to ctrl+fI’m sure you’d get it all over your face, even if I spoonfed you, mongoloid
>>724400285>>724400436You guys must be baiting. You know how long game production from the initial asset pipeline to QA, actually takes?Also comparing Fortnite's content dripfeed to Kirby Air Riders is... I hope you are joking.
>>724401373>holding off on content that would have otherwise been in the game at the startThat's obviously not what I'm asking for. A small team to develop characters and maps after the fact is a standard practice after like, 2008
>>724401114No
>>724401325With Waddle Dee in, the answer for me is Bandana Dee
>>724351516I was binge watching Kamen Rider so hard I thought he was talking about the show.
>>724401325Batamon, now that we have scarfy and two waddle dees>>724401871What you’re asking for is retarded for all of the reasons I laid out which you chose to ignore
>>724350240IMO they should one character corresponding to each of Kirby's special forms.
>>724388020kawasaki
>>724402139"It doesn't need it" isn't good enough imo. It would have been nice.
>>724401325Shadow Kirby from Amazing Mirror
>>724370996they say the character names before you fight them. Idk if any of those were original though. I always assumed it's said character speaking since for Kirby it just goes "haiii" so maybe gives a voice to some characters
I think it’d be cool if Adeleine was hyper realistic
>>724402245it’s not just “it doesn’t need it,” it would never get it without it coming at the expense of launch content. Fucking read and try to hav a though pass through your brain about how development and budgeting actually works
>>724350334>imagine playing it>mfw playing it
>>724402923Holy shit. How are you having such a hard time comprehending that I wish there was additional budget allocated for post-launch content. Why is this difficult for you
>>724403047It’s not difficult at all for me to see that you wish money grew on trees and we’d magically get more video game forever. I just don’t care about the delusional whims of a moron
>>724399708I'm surprised Bonkers hasn't been shown yet. But for grunts I would love Chilly.
>>724350334HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT
>>724402659>me-ta kNIIIIIIIIIIGHt
>>724403171The money exists. Nintendo has it. They decided not to spend additional money that they have on post-launch content, which is not a novel or shocking idea when they are clearly open to the concept of DLC
>>724362108I want to hug him
>>724393570At the store you broke retard.
>>724402686HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD
>>724403385They’re not going to expand the budget of this game to add live service support just because. what fiscal incentive do they have to do that? You fundamentally don’t understand how this shit works. You have a child’s brain
>>724403695Because people who didn't buy at launch are more inclined to invest in a game that has content still ongoing.You keep name-calling but frankly I don't think you understand how any of this works.
>>724403851Ah yes, Nintendo, famous for their short tail game sales. Scrimblo #25, 6 months later would really be the boost this game needs
>>724404141Nintendo ISNT famous for it. That's why I said at the beginning of this that I wish they were.
>>724350240ALL IN ON ROCKY
>>724404473Are you illiterate? I’m saying their games continue to sell well for a long time after release, better than anyone in the industry, without live service of even significant sales. So that incentive you suggested is nonexistent for them. They already achieve it better than anyone. You said they “wish they understood live service better,” but you don’t understand their business, or the business in general
>>724404628Surprised I haven’t seen this reference tossed around more
customization kino
I have 0 interest in this being a flop or not, but its going to flop so hard they might even comit sudoku on Sukaraki or whatever his name is
>>724410001You also seem to have 0 brain cells
